I don't know of many books specifically meant for dental practices, but i have read a significant amount of business books in my time... here is a solid list of business books, and a brief synopsis, that would most certainly apply to a dental practice (in no particular order):

A Few Words from the Chair by Clow - A patient's point of view about dentistry and practice management.

The E-Myth Revisited by Gerber - Basic overview of small businesses and why they fail or succeed.

Good to Great by Collins - Case studies of successful companies and what they did to find success.

Tribal Leadership by Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright - How to be an effective leader and maximize productivity of groups.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Covey - How to organize and prioritize your life/business and teaches one how to manage time effectively.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Carnegie - Basic rules on interpersonal communication and making people feel valued.

Little Red Book of Selling by Gitomer - Tips and tricks of sales and influence.

Delivering Happiness by Hsieh - How to establish a company culture of happiness/fun and examples of great customer service. Follows success story of Zappos.com.

I have read dozens more, but feel these are the most fundamental and will give you the best return on investment while reading.
 
Good to Great is my favorite ever.

Leadership and self-deception is a great one too.

You could always look on amazon at books like "how to start a dental practice" and look at the reviews.
